Jamoneisha’s cousin Starshanae Nixon said: “It don’t make sense, you don’t do that to a person. They was best friends.”

But her mum claimed she had previously been bullied by the girl who allegedly attacked her after inviting her to the sleepover Sunday night.

Ebony said: “I was told that they didn’t like her. And they just been bullying her.

“They’ve been on Snapchat. It’s been going on several times. The girl admitted it, ‘I don’t like her, I wanted to do it’.”

The Hot Water Challenge: The latest deadly internet-driven craze that is terrifying parents

The Hot Water Challenge is a dangerous new craze that has claimed several victims.

Inspired by YouTube videos, it involves pouring scalding hot water over an unsuspecting person.

In one some instances, people are dared to drink the boiling liquid.

Parents of some of the victims have urged others to warn their kids of the dangers.

Diane Johnson – the aunt of Ki'ari Pope, who died after drinking boiling water – told local media: “Parents, talk to your kids about these challenges.

“Don’t just give them your phone and let them go by. Watch what they are doing.”

Jamoneisha is not the first victim of the terrifying Hot Water Challenge craze.

Last month, an eight-year-old Florida girl was killed when she drank boiling water through a straw after being dared by her cousin to do so.

Ki’ari Pope and her cousin had apparently watched several videos on YouTube of people performing the so-called “hot water challenge” before the child severely burned her throat and died, CBS News reported.
